Sitting in Kleppestø at the bridge, errr Broen på norsk, with a half hour to kill before my bus out to Follese. I thought I'd grab one last cheeseburger before tomorrow's Meatless March begins. I read Scott Jurek's cookbook after my first marathon, but I didn't buy into it. It being the whole vegan thing. But now Arnold Schwarzenegger is pushing it too. So why not give it a month? Ever since reading Gandhi's autobiography I've realized that temperance is linked to vegetarianism in a moralistic way that I found disgusting. But I've found my temperant months useful exercises, and more successful than my swimming challenge. This is going to be tougher than avoiding alcohol I think though. Meat is central to my conception of what constitutes a meal, and cheeseburgers are practically my religion. I suspect this project will drive me crazy, outweighing the other advertised health benefits.
